ZM in Brisbane?

[TJV]

Hi all.
My mother just emailed me from Brisbane, Australia (I'm in New Zealand,) and asked if I'd like her to pick up anything for me I can't get at home. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good second hand camera shops that might have an ZM or Leica gear in the Brisbane area? I'm wanting a 25/28mm ZM or Leica SLOOZ finder.
Thanks in advance.

They have a cabinet with some quality gear, including Leicas and Zeiss RF stuff. Andrew who works there is most helpful.

Not the biggest shop, but very genuine.

Thanks mate.
Very helpful. I really wish that Zeiss ZM gear was easier found here in NZ. It's only bought it on a confirmed purchase basis. A bit silly if you ask me. If I could hold the lenses and talk about them with a salesperson I'd be more inclined to buy. If I ever get that 50mm Sonar I'll order from the US to save money in case it's not for me.

What's the situation like is Australia? I believe we share the same distributor it C.R. Kennedy, who also handle Hasselblad. They're hopeless here!

I am in Sydney. With Zeiss products, I can only get them from Ebay or overseas, unfortunately.

That's a bummer.
The Australian owned company, C. R. Kennedy does bring them into NZ but only on firm pre order. No good for those of us on a budget and who like to handle things before buying! In any case, and in my experience, they're a hopeless company to deal with here anyway.
